      create : myapp/test/controllers
      create : myapp/test/helpers
      create : myapp/test/models
      create : myapp/app/assets/javascripts
      create : myapp/app/assets/javascripts/script.js

      create : myapp/app/views/partials/footer.ejs
      create : myapp/test
      create : myapp/test/controllers/index_controller_test.js

   install dependencies:
     $ cd myapp && npm install

   run the app:
